It sounds to me that they are going out of their way on this to help AFOLs
specifically. And that is significant.

Would you like to present your business case for this? Got the financials to
back you up?
I still don't understand this line of thought, unless you are blissfully
convinced that AFOLs know what's best for Lego and should be consulted up front
on anything & everyting that affects them. Why should Lego publicly discuss it's
future product plans with AFOLs? Would you like MegaBlok executives to sit in on
those discussions too? I don't know too many companies that do that with their
core enthusiasts. Perhaps some AFOLs were consulted but are under a NDA? Who
knows?
Also a major color changed was rumored here on Lugnet a long time ago (I'm too
lazy to search for the post, but it's here somewhere)
